Special-purpose machine tool for centering small workpieces; model optimized for low-volume production.

A dedicated machine tool for drilling center holes in small workpieces, featuring a compact footprint and easy setup, ideal for machining center holes in short, slender shafts, small pins, and small‑batch, multi‑specification parts. Manufactured by Juxin Machine Tool Co., Ltd.


Many hardware processing plants and precision component manufacturers primarily handle multi‑specification, small‑batch orders. Their workpieces are often slender shafts or short pins, with small diameters and short lengths. Large center‑hole lathes are bulky and require time‑consuming setup, making them ill‑suited for the production of numerous small‑part variants. Special-purpose machine tool for centering small workpieces Compact in size and easy to set up, this machine is specifically designed for small‑diameter, slender shafts and for small‑batch machining of multiple specifications. The Juxin Machine Tool’s compact center‑drilling machine is ideal for precision center‑hole machining of small shaft components.

Pain points in machining small workpieces

Small, slender‑shaft workpieces have low rigidity and are prone to crushing or deformation if improperly clamped; frequent changes in workpiece specifications result in lengthy setup times on large machine tools; and when small‑batch orders are processed on large equipment, machine utilization remains low while occupying substantial floor space. A compact, dedicated center‑hole machining center addresses these challenges head‑on.

Product Features of the Small Workpiece Center-Drilling Machine

  1. Compact body, minimal footprint. The unit is compact and easy to position, making it ideal for processing plants with limited workshop space, and it is convenient to move and install.
  2. Quick clamping, easy changeover. A compact, self-centering fixture ensures convenient workpiece loading and unloading; the CNC system can store multiple sets of machining parameters, allowing direct retrieval when switching products, significantly reducing changeover and setup time and supporting multi‑variety, small‑batch production.
  3. Feed is finely and controllably adjustable. Servo‑controlled micro‑feed ensures precise feed rate control, preventing over‑feeding when machining small workpieces, thereby avoiding breakage of slender shafts and guaranteeing the quality of small‑hole formation.
  4. Low operational threshold The interface is clean and intuitive, with straightforward parameter settings that allow workers to get up to speed quickly, making it well-suited for small workshops operating under an outsourced processing model.

Applicable Workpiece Scenarios

Small pin shafts, miniature motor shafts, small precision shafts, short stepped shafts, and precision small hardware shaft components; ideal for contract machining shops, precision hardware manufacturers, sample prototyping, and small‑batch trial production.

Selection Recommendations

When selecting equipment, be sure to verify the minimum clamping diameter and the maximum workpiece length. If small‑batch orders later require capacity expansion, you can provision an interface for automated upgrades and retrofit a simple feeding mechanism at a later stage.

Juxin Machine Tool’s specialized small‑workpiece center‑drilling machine supports custom fabrication of non‑standard small parts and offers sample‑based trial cutting. If your workshop handles a wide variety of small shaft components requiring center drilling, feel free to inquire about equipment specifications and tailored solutions.

How should machining equipment be selected for batch production of shaft-type components? This article examines the applicable scenarios of conventional CNC lathes, specialized machine tools, twin‑station twin‑spindle vertical CNC lathes, and center‑drive twin‑head CNC lathes, focusing on processes such as end-face machining, center‑hole drilling, external cylindrical turning, threading, and dual‑end machining, thereby helping enterprises to design efficient batch‑production strategies.


What should you do if shaft‑type machining equipment takes up too much floor space?

Excessive floor space requirements, insufficient workshop capacity, and the inability to scale production are common pain points for most machining enterprises. The Juxin dual‑station, dual‑spindle CNC vertical lathe features an ultra‑compact design, occupying only 5 m² per unit—replacing two conventional lathes and reducing space needs by 70%—thus providing an ideal solution to the challenge of limited shop‑floor space in shaft‑machining operations.


How can efficiency be improved in the mass production of shaft components?

The key to boosting efficiency in high-volume shaft machining lies not in shortening cycle times or repeatedly reorienting and aligning workpieces, but in streamlining processes, simplifying equipment, and reducing the workload on operators. The Juxin dual‑station, dual‑spindle CNC vertical lathe can replace two machines with a single unit, enabling simultaneous machining at both stations, thereby significantly cutting handling, labor, and facility‑space costs. Moreover, substituting turning for grinding further enhances process efficiency.


What turning equipment is used for batch machining of shaft-type parts?

For the mass production of shaft-type components, the Juxin dual‑station, dual‑spindle CNC vertical lathe is the preferred choice. Unlike conventional single‑station vertical lathes or the cumbersome arrangement of multiple standard lathes, its two independent machining units can simultaneously perform both forward and reverse operations on a workpiece, occupying less floor space, reducing labor costs, and offering superior rigidity—enabling hard turning of quenched parts. It is an efficient, purpose-built machine for high‑volume shaft‑part manufacturing.


What equipment is used for the mass production of shaft-type parts?

For the mass production of shaft-type parts, equipment selection should not focus solely on the machining speed of a single machine tool; it must also take into account the total number of machines, floor space requirements, staffing levels, workpiece handling, and the organization of forward and reverse operations. For shaft components that require both forward and reverse machining steps, using two conventional lathes to perform these operations separately would not only necessitate two machines but also create challenges related to workpiece transfer and personnel allocation. A dual‑station, dual‑spindle CNC vertical lathe integrates two independent machining units—each equipped with its own spindle, turret, and CNC system—into a single machine, enabling separate processing of different operations on the same workpiece according to the manufacturing process. In mass production of shaft-type parts, this approach allows for a re‑optimized production layout across three key dimensions: equipment count, available shop floor space, and workforce configuration.


Can a machine tool simultaneously machine both ends of shaft-type parts?

Can a single machine tool simultaneously turn both ends of a shaft‑type part? The Juxin dual‑station, dual‑spindle CNC vertical lathe replaces two conventional lathes in one unit, streamlining the machining process, reducing floor space by 70%, cutting handling time, and lowering labor costs by 50%, making it ideal for high‑volume, efficient production of shaft‑type components.
